Many isekais show MC making crazy deals that make them rich and next chapter they're struggling to pay generic weapons, what's up with that? If the author wants to make them wealthy just be consistent latter. . . Yeah I know he's buying crystals which are very expensive but still, all the mirrors, jewels, amber and dungeon loot should net him a comfortable life
Truth be told dungeon economy on this manga seems a loosing enterprise if MC's having a hard time advancing the lower floors and his equipment is OP, like weaker adventurers could never really live out of this if they need more people for the same loot and improving gear's not worth the returns.
Nevertheless, economy aside, world building's quite good.
I get what you're saying, but Michio is quite wealthy and leads an extremely comfortable lifestyle. Maybe it's an artifact of the glacial progress in the monthly releases or of the adaptation in general failing to convey it, but Michio almost always has a fat stash of cash just sitting around for whatever he's saving up for, in this case, "next slave-chan." It can FEEL like he's poor, but that's just because: a. he's a total miser (meaning he hates spending money unless he has to and absolutely loathes spending more than necessary when he does) and b. as I mentioned before he's always saving up for some kind of big purchase.
On the note of weapons, he's just extremely choosy because: 1. most weapons don't have slots, and 2. most weapons that do have slots don't have the maximum number of slots possible unless we're talking about the low-tier ones that can only have a single slot.
Lastly, his "slow" progress is more the fault of his extremely cautious and rather cowardly nature making him avoid any but the bare minimum of struggle/challenge.
Also, I'm not sure if it's been covered yet, but his pace is breakneck speed by this world's standards thanks to his cheats letting them level at insane speeds.

I think that about covers anything I have to add to what's already been said. Pardon me if I misremembered anything since it's been ages since I've refreshed on this series, manga, or novel(s).

I disagree. Very little time has passed since the MC was isekaied and he already has two slaves, a place to live, and 3 full sets of armor and weapons. That's a lot of wealth for a teenager living in the world for... a month? And who lives a relatively honest life. He has a side business, but he also trains his own blacksmith and provides for two people.

Most of the locals who raid the dungeons probably do not care about conquering them. They live off the loot, and they're not burdened with providing for their party members.
They don't have to worry about providing for their party because they're dividing the loot equal parts, it's the same as him having it all and caring for everyone's expenses. And he has all that due to grinding the dungeons for the whole day optimally and with OP powers (not to mention the companions), now compare that to average Joe that needs close to twice as many members on the party and may die to a low value boss, not long ago we saw a wipe from a team that was relatively well equipped.
I didn't mean it's a bad business for MC but rather for every other person that's not a noble and can get "premium wood planks" on more difficult floors or has to do it out of duty, because as the difficulty is going up and the loot still looks pitiful I'd consider that they're not getting many returns except when hitting big tickets with a crystal, or at least looks like that

On that note, practically every dungeon dwelling work is guilty of one sin; It's always empty. If you live in a large town and its economy centers around a single dungeon, and a sizable part of the town are explorers, why is the mc strolling through practically empty corridors? Like here, but perhaps the worst offender is DanMachi...

Manga generally progress incredibly slow compared to novels. That's why I find if I really like a series, I usually dive into the novel.
